The emperor turned his head to look at Li An, who was in a daze, "You An, is what Jing Yun said true?"

Li An was in a daze, wanting to cry but said without tears: "Grandfather, my father did say this, but my grandson thinks it's a joke of theirs..."

"We royals keep their promises, so how can we make a joke?" The emperor reprimanded with a straight face: "Don't think that Jing Yun is too young to be your teacher. His uncle is also younger than your father, so he should be Prince Shaofu? From the perspective of seniority, it is not an exaggeration for you to worship him as your teacher."

Li An lowered his head with a pale face, and answered "Yes" in a low voice.

Everyone: ...I'll go, the emperor, you can't dote on Gu Jingyun so much. You just got a Jinshi and become a teacher Taisun. Then do you really want to make him a fourth-rank official?

The emperor really sealed it. He looked at Gu Jingyun and said, "Since I promised you, I will naturally do it. I will make you a fourth-rank servant to teach, and you can enter the palace to give lectures to the princes. As for the grandson's worship of you as a teacher?" , wait for an auspicious day to hold it again."

Everyone looked up at the emperor and Gu Jingyun dully.

Peng Dan was the first to react, and came out to advise: "Your Majesty, think twice, Gu Zhuangyuan is still young, and there is no one who can be granted a fourth-rank official position. It is because Gu Zhuangyuan is smarter than others and lacks experience. It’s not just about answering the questions and making papers, you also need to accumulate experience…”

The emperor waved his hand impatiently and said, "Jing Yun is just a teacher. What experience do you need? The Qin family can read and teach by nature, so why accumulate it?"

The corners of Gu Jingyun's mouth curled up slightly: "Your Majesty is right."

He straightened his chest proudly, and said happily and confidently: "For my Qin family, teaching is the same as reading, something that is born with it."

Everyone was stunned, teaching?

The Four Classes are only for teaching?

Wait, no, Gu Jingyun's ideal is to be full of peaches and plums, so that is to be a teacher?

He didn't want to be named as a marquis and worship the prime minister, he was a fourth-rank servant just to be the teacher of the grandson, the teacher of the princes.

This shows that he will not climb up.

No, His Majesty did not let him climb up. Just as His Majesty said, Gu Jingyun became a teacher, which shows that he can only be a teacher in his life!

Everyone's eyes rolled wildly, winked at each other, and questioned each other, so the emperor named him the number one scholar, and made him a fourth-rank minister, not because he favored him and appreciated his promotion, but to suppress him and prevent him from being promoted. Let him not grasp the real power, let him be a fourth-rank official for the rest of his life?

The emperor is so narrow-minded, he really angered Gu Jingyun, they just said, Qin Xinfang rebelled and was exiled, how could Gu Jingyun come back from Qiongzhou not be implicated at all?

It's so ruthless!

Gu Jingyun is talented, his wisdom is close to that of a monster, and he is also the number one scholar. If the emperor has no prejudice against him, after ten or twenty years of hard work, he might be a Qin Xinfang again.

Gu Jingyun is only fifteen years old this year, even twenty years later he will only be thirty-five years old.

Thirty-five-year-old Ge Lao, everyone envied and hated him just thinking about it.

Some people may not even pass the Jinshi examination at the age of thirty-five.

But now his hope has been cut off. Although he was named a fourth-rank attendant at the age of fifteen, he will stop there all his life. Think about it, everyone feels sorry for him.

But Gu Jingyun didn't feel any pain at all, instead he thanked him happily, his eyes were as bright as stars, making those who watched him look away slightly unbearably, does this child know what he has lost?

Peng Dan didn't stop this time, he took a step back and entered the queue, silent.

The emperor nodded slightly in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "The imperial examination is here today, Jing Yun, Huang Aiqing, Xu Aiqing, you are all ready to go out of the palace and parade through the streets."

The three came out and responded respectfully: "Yes!"

The servant hurriedly stepped forward to lead the three out of the palace, and the emperor got up to leave the arena. All the officials and examinees knelt down to send the emperor off before slowly reacting.

The examinees looked at each other and sighed regretfully. Although Gu Jingyun became a fourth-rank official and struggled less than them for about fifteen years, they were not envious at all.

I can't stop feeling sorry, what's the matter with sympathy?

Xu Jiuyan looked at Gu Jingyun complicatedly, and now he understood his kindness in letting them speak first.

If they didn't let them speak first, I'm afraid no one would remember them as soon as he spoke.

He wanted to ask him why he answered that way, but he couldn't speak deeply because of the shallowness of the conversation, so he could only swallow the words.

But Huang Gonghua was much more straightforward. He nodded to Gu Jingyun with a smile, then took a step back and said, "Gu Zhuangyuan invites you first."

The guards of the palace brought three horses, but Gu Jingyun didn't refuse. He smiled at him and jumped up on the horse's legs, with a graceful posture.

Xu Jiuyan was born in a famous family, so he also knew how to ride a horse, so he mounted the horse with ease. Although Huang Gonghua came from a farming and studying family, he had never learned to ride a horse. Fortunately, with the help of a guard, he also rode a horse. The three of them rode forward slowly. Go to Qianmen Street.

People in the capital had long been waiting on Qianmen Street to see the No. 1 Scholar and Tanhualang Parade, but they couldn’t come. They were worried that something might happen, but after a while, they saw the yamen servants beating drums and gongs to clear the streets. Everyone was overjoyed. It's the champions who are here.

Li Baolu also immediately lay down on the window and looked out, and excitedly waved to Heart, "Hurry up and bring all the flowers here, Brother Jing Yun will be here soon."

Hongtao hurriedly brought the flowers they bought to Li Baolu's side.

Zhao Ning twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Siblings, we should keep a low profile..."

This time Zhao Ning will take the test named Luosun Shan, so he missed the palace test. After sending Gu Jingyun to the palace to take the palace test early this morning, they came to this teahouse to wait.

The two of them had no doubts about Gu Jingyun's ranking in the top three, but Zhao Ning felt that it was better to keep a low profile. Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger was much safer than a tiger running directly into the street.

"Got it, got it," Li Baolu nodded without much sincerity, "I must keep a low profile."

Zhao Ning knew at a glance that she didn't listen, and when he wanted to persuade him again, Shun Xin was already lying on the window and shouted: "Master, Mrs. Gu, I saw Young Master Gu!"

Everyone rushed to the window immediately, and Li Baolu immediately saw the young man who rode his horse and walked in front, with a big red flower on his chest, and a serious face, as if he was not parading through the streets for people to watch, but patrolling the country the king.

The bustling street was quiet for a moment, and then even greater enthusiasm erupted in an instant. Roaring and cheering rushed towards the three of them like a huge wave. Gu Jingyun, who was walking in the front, bore the brunt. Discoloration.

And Gu Jingyun still sat on the horse with a serious face, walking forward at the same speed.

Huang Gonghua and Xu Jiuyan behind him didn't change their faces, but they couldn't help but stare at the young man in front of him, and they couldn't help feeling sorry for him. This young man is indeed very good, but unfortunately his future has been set. With the future set for him by the emperor, he will only be a good man for the rest of his life. The fourth-rank attendant said that he can only be a teacher. Even if the next emperor appreciates him, it will be difficult for him to gain real power and be promoted if he has the will of the previous emperor.

The two felt sorry, but Gu Jingyun, who was walking in front of them, smiled when he saw Li Baolu who was waving excitedly at him from the corner of his eye.

The little daughters-in-law and big girls who were already fascinated by him screamed, covered their cheeks shyly and looked at him, boldly threw handkerchiefs and purses at him directly, their eyes were glued to him.

Seeing this, Xu Jiuyan and Huang Gonghua breathed a sigh of relief. Didn't they say that women's bondage is becoming more and more serious? Why are they so bold now and not reserved at all?

Handkerchiefs and purses were thrown from all directions, but their owners were obviously not accurate enough. In addition, Gu Jingyun suddenly clamped his horse and made him walk two steps quickly, avoiding these things directly.

But Huang Gonghua and Xu Jiuyan who were following behind him were not so lucky, purses and handkerchiefs were scattered on their heads and shoulders...

The two of them were taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths when they looked at the two steps away suddenly. These things were obviously given to Gu Jingyun, so what's the matter if they were thrown on them?

The corners of Gu Jingyun's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked up at Li Baolu proudly.

Li Baolu also showed him a big smile, seeing that none of the purses and handkerchiefs dropped on him were on him, so she couldn't help being proud, took the basket full of flowers by her side, and shouted at him: "Gu Zhuangyuan, I'm so pleased with you!" !"

After finishing speaking, he sprinkled the flowers in his hand, and all kinds of flowers fell towards Gu Jingyun one after another.

Gu Jingyun was taken aback for a moment, and instead of dodging like before, he let the flowers fall on him. The love words Li Baolu just said were still ringing in his ears, and he couldn't help showing a happy smile on his face.

Li Baolu happily sprinkled all the flowers on him and laughed happily.

Gu Jingyun's expression was invisible to Huang Gonghua and Xu Jiuyan behind him, but the audience on both sides could see it clearly. The people on the opposite side followed his gaze and saw Li Baolu smiling like a budding flower in the window at a glance.

The eighty-year-old grandmother and the eight-year-old girl all became jealous. Who is that girl, and why can she get Gu Zhuangyuan's gaze and smile?

After Gu Jingyun's street tour, he returned to the palace to attend the banquet. The emperor and all the princes showed their faces, except the prince.

The prince was ill recently, and the emperor was not in good health. In order not to get sick, the father and son did not meet each other.

Taisun has full power to replace him.

Gu Jingyun's initial wish was fulfilled, he happily drank a few glasses of wine, and was escorted out of the palace by his servants with a rosy complexion.

In the imperial palace, no one dared to neglect Gu Jingyun. Manager Su specially came to see him off for the last time. Of course, the main purpose was to convey the emperor's oral instructions.

"Gu Zhuangyuan, His Majesty means that the eighth day of April is a good day, and His Majesty will preside over the apprenticeship ceremony for the grandson at that time."

Gu Jingyun's eyes were shining, he nodded slightly and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, Director Lao Su has come to inform you."

Director Su smiled and said, "This is the job of miscellaneous family members."

The two of them went outside the palace while talking. There were many carriages parked outside the gate. When Li Baolu saw Gu Jingyun, he immediately jumped out of the carriage to meet him, "You've been drinking, how do you feel?"

"In the clouds, in the fog, groggy, and in a very happy mood."

Li Baolu smiled and said, "Then we'll continue drinking when we get back."

Director Su looked up at Li Baolu curiously.
